Carrie and Mike LOVE music. THis was reflected in some fantastic song choices for their wedding.

"Something" by The Beatles started off the processional. For Carrie's walk down the aisle, "Into The Mystic" by Van Morrison was an inspired choice. "Gimme Some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis Group provided an instantly recognizable, energetic anthem for the newlyweds to exit the ceremony.

After the toasts, meal and cake cutting, Mike surprised everyone by grabbing the mic and singing an impromptu version of Eric Clapton's "I've Got A Rock N' Roll Heart" and devoting it to Carrie.

The first dance was "You Got It" by Roy Orbison followed by "Sunrise Sunset" for Carrie and her father Bill.

For open dancing, the guests enjoyed a variety of music from Sinatra to The Rolling Stones to the traditional "Havah Nagila". Rock and Oldies proved quite popular but after a while, artists like Justin Timberlake and Flo Rida were added to the mix to the delight of the crowd.

Ken and his staff at The Chart House took extra special care of Carrie, Mike and the guests- they always do!

For the ceremony we used a Sure wireless mic and an outside satellite speaker. Inside we used a two speaker digital Yamaha system and and extra speaker for the dining room.
